For 110 years, the Post has focused its lens on Hong Kong, capturing the good, the bad, the ugly and the beautiful of this energetic city.

Now an exhibition marking this milestone anniversary of a paper known for its press photography will take viewers down memory lane.

Set to open tomorrow at Sotheby’s art space in Admiralty, the exhibition features black-and-white and colour images displayed in various categories to chronicle the city’s past.

In the “Triumphs and Celebrations” category we are reminded of astronauts Liu Boming, Zhai Zhigang and Jing Haipeng’s successful Shenzhou-7 space mission in 2008, and how the city turned on the fanfare for the opening ceremony of the East Asian Games 2009.
